Shakespeare and Domestic Life - A Dictionary

This dictionary explores the language of domestic life found in Shakespeare''s work and seeks to demonstrate the meanings he attaches to it through his uses of it in particular contexts. "Domestic life" covers a range of topics: the language of the household, clothing, food, family relationships and duties; household practices, the architecture of the home, and all that conditions and governs the life of the home. The dictionary draws on recent cultural materialist research to provide in-depth definitions of the domestic language and life in Shakespeare''s works, creating a richly rewarding and informative reference tool for upper level students and scholars.>
